As VP of commercial and brand marketing, North America, Patel will lead the account management and brand partnerships functions for the region, where she will support the teams in Los Angeles and New York in working on new initiatives to help Farfetch partners continue to deliver strong and sustained growth on the Farfetch platform, the company said.
